Hello everyone,
I’d like to thank all of you for your patience and kind words over the last few weeks. It has indeed been a difficult time with the sudden loss of my father.
I’m soldiering on with my writing. The first draft of Thanatos (final part in The Carpathian Interlude series) is finished and promises to be a wild ride into darkness – something to match my mood of late.
I’m also thinking of trying out some new things involving video, so look for that in the coming weeks.
Today, I wanted to draw your attention to a guest post of mine on the English Historical Fiction Authors website (EHFA).
If you haven’t seen this site, you should check it out and sign-up for their e-mail updates. If you like history, you will get a daily dose of fascinating blog posts on a wide range of topics.
When the kind folks at EHFA contacted me to ask if I would be able to post on the site several weeks ago, I of course said yes!
With the subsequent loss of my father, however, I wasn’t sure I would be able to do it. But, writing is therapeutic for me, and so I put together a post called The Cult of Mithras – the British Connection in which I look at Mithraism and The Carpathian Interlude series and how the cult of Mithras was present in Britannia.
If you like ancient mystery religions, or The Carpathian Interlude series, I think you’ll enjoy reading this post.
I’ve also thrown myself into research for another Eagles and Dragons series novel and, as ever, history has been a wonderful distraction from the strange days in which I find myself.
So, thank you again for all your wishes, and I look forward to talking more history with all of you.
Oh, and by the way, from February 18th-22, Chariot of the Son is available for FREE DOWNLOAD from Amazon, so be sure to go and get your copy.
As ever, thank you for reading…
